Stern's prod company and manager are filing a lawsuit against SiriusXm Radio, which claims that Howard "was bilked out of stock awards SiriusXM promised him." They are seeking unspecified damages.

As mentioned in the lawsuit, Howard was promised a share "in any success that the company achieved," but Howard's team is claiming that he didn't receive further stock bonuses after Sirius acquired XM, and the 20 million subscribers who came along with it.

In the lawsuit, Team Howard wrote the following:

"Sirius needed Stern more than Stern needed Sirius."

Ha! We'd have to agree with that.

Hopefully they can work everything out. If we were SiriusXM, we wouldn't want to piss off Howard. If he were gone, we're sure that TONS of subscribers would leave along with him.

XM didn't have 20 million subscribers, that's the total number of subscribers of the merged companies. The merger was necessary because neother company could survive on their own. Considering his more than generous salary and the fact that SiriusXM's stock had tanked and was on the verge of filing bankruptcy not too long ago I'd say he HAS shared in the success of the company.

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
